On November 15th, Either/Or returns to University Settlement’s historic Speyer Hall with an expansive program of works created by an international group of individual compositional voices. Comprised primarily of pieces written since 2000, the concert introduces new voices to the EO fold (Hannah Kendall, Leroy Jenkins), deepens several recently established relationships (Inga Chinilina, Joanna Ward, Jō Kondō), and pays homage to the great Kaija Saariaho. This event also features a special guest appearance by Downtown legend Kathleen Supové.
